No. 9: Tulips 11 Aug 2013 | 08:29 pm
Ahhh….the tulip. An iconic symbol of Holland -only to be topped by the windmill or the clog. You certainly can’t get more Dutch than the tulip. Or can you? I will let you in on a little secret. The pr...
No. 46: Nasty spreads (broodbeleg) 6 Jul 2013 | 01:32 am
If you’ve ever worked in a Dutch workplace, you’ve probably been tricked convinced at least once to chip in a few euros and share a communal lunch. Yes, the peer pressure was probably hard to resist,...
No. 44: White leggings 2 Jun 2013 | 04:23 pm
Spring has finally sprung in the Netherlands; the birds are chirping, the sun is shining and the skies are an unfamiliar blue colour. People on the streets are actually smiling at each other in passin...
No.9: Queen’s Day (Koninginnedag) 28 Apr 2013 | 10:26 am

No.28: Friet & mayo (Dutch French Fries) 14 Sep 2012 | 07:34 pm
Call ‘em what you will – friet, friets, patat, Vlaamse Frieten – but one thing is sure, the Dutch can’t seem to get enough of ‘em! In fact, they love ‘em so much they eat over 41 million kilos of … C...
No. 35: Impossibly steep stairs (aka: the death “trap”) 2 Sep 2012 | 09:11 pm
After 2 years of living in the lowlands our expat-provided accommodation ran out, so we naively embarked on a Amsterdam house-hunting mission. Even though it was a good 6 years ago, I remember it well...
No. 1: Bicycles 15 Aug 2012 | 09:26 pm
